Magic Money may improve Salone!
Development, they say, is the life blood of existing governments the world over. Months after President Koroma’s taking over of governance (2007), he made several promises to Sierra Leoneans.
Fellow Sierra Leonmeans, he said, no more, in the history of this country, would Freetown be called the ‘darkest’ city in the world.
To this, came the lemp-lemp (hasty) carrying out of a project to provide 24 hours electricity for residents of Freetown.
All through 2008, 2009 and 2010, it was light all the way. But in 2011, the light which was as bright as a moon eventually faded or disappeared unnoticed.
No money to fund the project. Income Elektrix gone for good.
Why? Government has the answer. In the early part of January 2011, the Minister of Energy and Power, Professor Ogunlande Davidson, told (sorry lied) to Sierra Leoneans that the break in the supply of electricity (light) was due to low water at the Bumbuna dam.
But disheartening most is the fact that even when the rains are now coming, Freetown is still in dark. Asked them, and you will get nothing touchable from them at all.
Even though President Koroma’s assurances of 24 hours electricity is unsolved, he keeps setting out priorities ranging from youth unemployment, 30 per cent quota for women participation in development, affordable education, free health care, infrastructural development, fighting corruption and his dream of building a bridge linking Freetown and Lungi.
So, who exactly will tell how and where the President will generate the money he will use to bring to reality his dreams.
I might also not want to border my readership at all, but rather get to the answer at instant point – ‘thank God our tradition makes room for magic money.’
And please also allow me draw noteworthy reflections that un-magical options does not exist at all; donor funding etc.
Cocaine could have been an easy ride, but that again poses threat to national development.
You know what; the K9 of Sierra Express has had sleepless night trying to find out where the source of funding for these numerous projects are.
And to your surprise (of course, not me), K9 never knew the secret behind President Koroma’s self-confidence of turning Sierra Leone into a paradise – as said in 2007.
The secret is not far from K9 and even you Sierra Leoneans. The shops have it! The bars do sell it also! And are in home refrigerators also!
You know what? Not any at all, but the President Koroma’s Independence spring water in ‘tutik’ container. Of course, such is presently competing with Grafton Water, Luvian Water, and Family Care etc., at markets.
K9 has been able to uncover facts that the content in the Independence Spring Water possesses mystical and magical relations.
Drink it and you will surely be in companionship with President Koroma.
And if poured on our devalued Leones, it will turn it to raw US dollars. So you see the goodies the President Koroma’s Independence Magic water has brought us.
If money is virtually a determinate factor for the President’s political victory in the 2012 elections, it is sure he has made it already.
Allow me tell this deep secret to you. Even the goddess, Madam Mamy Water, being an admirer of the President’s dy-nasty, has recently dishes gold coins and notes at the beaches.
To the lay, it is called toxic sea weeds. But to loyalists of the ruling government, it is gold gifts from the goddess of the sea – Mamy Water.
